Deuteronomy 28:12 A "The Lord will open to you his god treasury, the heavens."

  I know it's been a week since I've posted, but my computer's in the shop. Still, as this verse continues, it speaks of giving rain when He's ready, and blessing all the work of our hands. I feel like this post is an example of that. And if it blessed you, go ahead and check out my main site-www.voiceintha.com  And then, tell your friends!

Galatians 6:2 "Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

  The law of Christ, known these days as The Golden Rule, is to love your neighbor as yourself, and treat others as you want to be treated. Jesus said to love God with all you've got, and also love others. That way, you obey every commandment. Sure, you can get technical with the details, and maybe you need to. But really, what He asks for is so simple to do. Making sure we all get through. If that message blessed you, go ahead and check out my main site-www.voiceintha.com  And then, tell your friends!

Proverbs 15:23 "To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone, and a word in season, how good it is!"

We could all stand to do better about this. When's the last time you heard, "Oh, man. It was awesome!" In response to a How was your day? But would't it be great? Y'all could go on reflecting on blessings, instead of grousing. "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." So fill your heart and your speech with good things, and then just watch the blessings you recieve.

Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."

  Now and then, life seems difficult. Almost impossible, except we're still alive. We may not have any idea where our next meal will come from, or if loved ones will ever wake up. But we do know where our help is found, and He hasn't lost one entrusted to His care. So when you're in need, get on your knees. Because, "Everyone that asks will recieve."

Psalm 51:12 "Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit."

We all need reminded of this, I think. It's so easy, the longer we believe, to forget the joy of simple things. We've been set free! To life eternally. But we get lost in little jobs, quite a lot. Which is why we have to stay willing, constantly, to witness grace in everything. Because Jesus is all we need.

Psalm 37:4 "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

  This verse can feel a little misleading, depending on how you might look at it. At first it sounds kind of like, be happy with God, and you'll get whatever you want! But that's not it. We're supposed to recognize How good He is, and after a while, we'll see we have more than we need. Because the Father gives every good thing.

Psalm 19:14a "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord."

  This basically means, in modern speech, that David wants everything he does or thinks to make God happy. How much better our lives would be, if this was our plea! Because, as the Maker of everything, the stuff God wants for us is the stuff we need. As Isaiah said, doing His thing will bring perfect peace.

2 Samuel 7:22 "Therefore you are great, O Lord God; for there is no one like you,

  A nd there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. How amazing is that? We so easily take for grantd, The One, True God, all-poweful Author of everything that is or was, loves us! So much so, He sent His only Son to be killed and risen, that we might rise along with Him. Such an awesome gift  we're given. If you liked that message, cinsider checking out my main site-www.voiceintha.com  And then, tell your friends!

Romans 12:2a "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds."

Paul also goes on to explain this, but it's kind of essential. See, we just can't operate at God's speed when we're tied down by worldly things. Fortunately, the solution we need is exactly what we've recieved. Christ puts His own Spirt into those who believe. And by that grace, according to His will, we can do all things. It's gonna be all right. Just let Him renew your mind. If you enjoyed that, go ahead and check out my main site-www.voiceintha.com  And then, tell your friends!

Jeremiah 29:11 "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord...

  Plans to give you hope and a future. Yeah, but we forget this all the time, don't we? To be fair, the father of lies (Satan) is always reminding us that life is hopeless. After a while, we just know it. But this verse, and our own stories, prove it's not true. Not with what God can do. So forget about the lies, and keep your eyes on the prize. The prize of eternal life. If you liked that, go ahead and check out my main site-www.voiceintha.com  And then, tell your friends!

Proverbs 1:8-9 "Hear, my child, your father’s instruction, and do not reject your mother’s teaching;

 F or they are r  a fair garland for your head, and pendants for your neck." Other places, they're compared to silver and preious gems. All through scripture, wisdom is precious, and it's known as a light for your path. Jesus said, if your eye has light (Wisdom) your whole body will be well. Like, saved from Hell. And that wisdom is given free, for you and me to be redeemed! What a great thing. If that message blessed you, why not check out my main site-www.voicentha.com  And then, tell your friends!

Deut. 13:4a "The Lord your God you shall follow, him alone you shall fear."

  At first, this sounds difficult, and a little intimidating. Only follow somone you can't see? Somebody you're scared of? Well, not exactly. God is love, meaning His character is kindness. Kindness that can be seen in everything. Which is how we know the nature of our King. And fear, in this context, means respect. Not heeby-jeebies, but reflecting on Him being  awesome. And suddenly, it becomes super easy. If that blessed you, check out my main site-www.voiceintha.com  And then, tell your friends!

Isaiah 43:11 "I, I am the Lord, and besides me there is no savior.''

  Often imitated, never duplicated! There never was, and never will be another like Johova. Yeshua. Emanuel, or God with us. He goes before us into battle, and He's right beside us in our turmoil. And His grace not only saves in the far off future eternity, but by it, we have the strength to do all things! we just have to follow His lead.

Psalm 63:1 "O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."

  Yesterday, I spoke of seeking the Lord while He may be found. And this is why. Sometimes we faint, as life seems dry. But if we think ahead, and store up gifts from on high, we'll know He never left our side.

Matthew 2:15 b "This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophets."

  Matthew is full of these references. Which explains how every moment of Christ's life was planned long ago. But it also means, yours was too! Every promise about joy and peace and abundant good things is true, for you. So take heart, for He has overcome the word.

Isaiah 55:6 ''Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near."

  This is so very easy to take for granted. Often, saved believers will enjoy this luxury as if it could never be shaken. But anyone who's been through hard times knows that He can feel distant, even absent. So while God never is, it's important to take advantage anytime He draws near, so that in suffering, we remember that He's there, and that He cares.

Proverbs 29:25 "The fear of others lays a snare, but one who trusts in the Lord is secure."

This is so true! In big ways, like fear of the Russians or A.I. And in smaller ways, like fear of your employer or your doctor. But no matter what you might be afraid of, the Lord is our fortress, and a shield at our hands. Meaning, whatever comes, braced by His love, we can stand.

Matt. 5:11 "“Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter...evil against you falsely[ on my account."

Hard to believe. At least, it doesn't feel like a blessing. We just have to rememember-His ways aren't like our ways. And that includes amazing grace. I mean, God sent His only Son to die on a cross. People hated the good He stands for that much. So, naturally, they won't like us. But just like Christ, we'll be lifted up.

Phil. 1:9 " And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight."

Sure, it's a Bible quote, but this really is my prayer. And it's a process we all oughta go through. The more we learn, the better we love. And vise-versa. Which, as that happens. inspires us to teach others, and the cycle repeats. Until every knee must bow, and every tongue confess. And then, we'll all be really blessed.

John 3:20 " For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed."

  But, if we're in Christ, we're supposed to be in the light, as He is in the light. Which can be scary. Humans, even innocent ones, don't like being exposed. It makes us vulnerable. But picture this: You'd wear armor against your exposed chest. Being close to something (Or someone.) Can provide maximum protection. You just gotta let Him in.
